    Anyone know the radiator capacity for the 05 4.0L auto trans 4x4? I only got about 1 gallon of coolant after draining the radiotor. The manual states total coolant capacity is 10.3 qts so I was expecting more our of the radiator. Thanks!

    You will need to drain the heads also.
    A quick search will show you where to look.
    I would defiantly use Toyota coolant instead of the "fits all" coolant available everywhere

    With both block drains, the rad drain, and the overflow bottle, mine took a splash less than 8 qts.
